The European Institute for Democratic Participation (EIDP) is a non-governmental organization, which aims to foster civil society in Europe and the Mediterranean with a special focus on Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia. In order to do so, we work as a network through which young Europeans are able to create and manage projects that aim to support and develop democratic participation. Our projects, seminars and trainings are conducted in an open, innovative and creative manner.

The EIDP is a foundation which is statutory registered in Winschoten, the Netherlands, and was founded on the 13th of November 2006 by Luc Vocks, Olaf Koens and Leander van Delden.

The EIDP sees it as her mission:

  • To support young Europeans in democratic participation
  • To serve as a platform where young Europeans can jointly develop and conduct projects that stimulate democratic participation
  • To promote East-West cooperation
  • To support and develop civil society
  • To promote human rights and social inclusion

The projects and network of the EIDP operates all over Europe and beyond and gives students in The Netherlands the possibility to see and experience more of Europe and its neighbouring countries and learn about topics and problems that influence the lives of many day by day.

The EIDP is organised as a foundation, but it works as a network. We intend to keep people who participate in our projects active in our network. That means we try to maintain strong ties to the organisations and participants and we stimulate them to initiate their own activities, either local, national or internationally.

The EIDP is a member of the Anna Lindh Network, is registered at the European Commission's register of interest representatives and registered at SALTO-YOUTH.

The EIDP only establishes seminars and trainings itself and does not have funds to provide other organizations with funding.
